F. 1'ugH.ttSB-In this city, Dec. Ctli.at 18 o'clock, midnifth'. l.£WisFnyi«r'aged32 years. He leaves aWW wo children In destitute circumstances,Prank Hondo-Kande, the Damons St. Elmo murderer, has made a confession as to hisreal name to I'rof. W. B. liichards, ofGalesburg, Illinois, in which he says,"Ills true name was Charles C. Scottthat he used to live at Fairfield, Iowa,and that lie has a brother living therenow, who works at the blacksmith'strade. Ho further savs that he is theparty who jumpod oil the train outWest 6ome six years ago while handcuffed, and also the fellow who did somany burglaries in Iowa about thattime. Scott, alias Rande, was onlyinduced to tell his name by being toldthat if he gave any but his true name,the copyright he is seeking to getupon his pictures^taken at Galesburgwould be worthloss, and he seemsvery desirous to leave the proceeds ofthe sale to some one else who willsurvive him—perhaps a wife andchildren."A dispatch from Galesburg to theChicago Tribune gives the followingadditional particulars of the outlaw"In conversation with him to night,your correspondent ascertained thathe was in Washington County, Pa,and lived there until 12 years of ageFrank Rande, whose name he nowbears, was a teacher under whom hestudied at that time. In November,1S59, he came to Iowa, where he remained till 1871. His first offense, asho tells it, was a burglary in 1871, atOttnmwa. Alter several escapes bybreaking jail, and recaptures, he madehis final escape from punishment forthe offense by leaping from the trainwhile he was being taken to AlbiaAlthough the train was running atthe rate of twenty miles an hour, andhis hands were manacled, he madegood his eseapc. Ilis life from thattime till he was sent from Ft. Wayne,Ind., on a five-year senteuce, wasscries of successful burglaries andlucky escapes. Of the past summersince his discharge, he says very little. He is reluctant to speak of h'wife, only saying that he had one sixyears ago, and had not heard from hersince. The impression is conveyedthat to her he ascribes his career ofcrime. He does not wish to be calledby the name of Scott says that isgone forever, and asks to be calledRande. He talks as volublv as everand of late seems to have absoluteconfidence in his acquittal of thecharge. Public sentiment is decidedly In favor of giving him a fair trial,and aside from the curious who persist in flocking to the jail to see him,he has, for the time and until the trial, dropped from the minds of ourcitizens."Since the above was put In type wehave Interviewed S. A. Swiggett,who was sheriff of this county in 1872,and he tells us that he recollects Scottvery well. The name he then passedunder was C. C. Scott, and he livedat Fairfield, where his father wasthen a locksmith and blacksmith. Hewas arrested for larceny and burglary in Albia, and was lodged in Wapello county jail on the 18th day ofFebruary, 1872. About the last daysof March he made his escape by sawing off the rivets of the door lock,but was arrested three days afterward in Jefferson county. On thethe 16th day of April, a deputy sheriff started' with Scott alias Kande,from this city to Albia, for trial, andhe cscaped from the officer just westof Chillicothc, by jumping from acaboose on a freight train, while itwas going down grade at the rate of20 miles an hour, with irons on hishands, and was never heard of afterward in this section of country.While he was in Sherifl Swiggett'scharge he was a continual trouble,made threats of doing bodily harmto the jailor, and boasted largely ofhis crimes. After he was recapturedhe was kept constantly locked in hiscell and closely guarded, and was deprived of everything he could use asa weapon, to prevent his carrying outhis threat. He was amiable to a remarkable degree when he thought itmight create sympathy, and devilishand mean when he was thwarted inhis desires. "Vliile in Jefferson county, after his first escape, he stole amule and was arrested with the mulein his possession. There is no doubtbut that Rande, the St. Elmo demon,and Scott are one and the same person.FAIRFIELD ESTABLISHES HER CLAIM.GALESBURG,Ills., Dec. 5.—Randehas now been fully identified as Chas.C. Scott, of Fairfield. Iowa, his brother, Ray S. Scott, having arrived fromFairfield to-day, and recognized him.He will bear the expense of the trial.More about Scott-RandeThe Fairfield Ledger says:In the summer of I860 Melchi Scott,father of the accused, came to thiscity from Claysvilie, Washingtoncounty, Pennsylvania, bringing withhim a family of eight or ten children—six of whom were boys, and hassince made Fairfield his home. Heis a member of the M. E. Church,andduring his seventeen years residencein Fairfield no one can say aughtagainst him. While he feels keenlythe disgrace wrought by the evil conduct of his son, it can safely be saidthat the parents are free from blame,and Bhould be made to feel that thesympathies of the community is withthem in this, the hour ot their trouble. They have heretofore borne theirtroubles in sorrow ai.d silence, actingonly as parents could toward an erring child, and now, in their advanced age, it is difficult to tell the resultof this last fearful blow.Charley is now about 35 years ofage, having come to this city afterhis father did, in 1860, when he wasabout 22 years of age. He is of medium height, rather square in build,of very dark complexion—his eyes asparkling black. He remained heresome time, but afterwards went toMinnesota. During his stay there hewas married in Howard county. Bythis marriage he had one son, and hiswife and child are still living, although their place of residence is notknown. Remaining in Minnesotafor some years, he finally returned toFairfield, lie did not stay long, however, and just here there is a blank inhis life of which our reporter couldlearn nothing.He was always noted for hisshrewdness and sagacity, and his frequent escapes from jail could be accounted for bv stating that in earlylife he learned the trade of a gunsmith and was quite an expert mechanic Owing to the peculiar formation of his limbs it was impossible tokeep irons on him when he objectedto them. He is a skillful penman,writing a beautiful band, and hisskill with the pen may develop othercrimes which he has committed. Atdifferent times he has studied law andmedicine, at one time intending topractice the former, and we hear itstated that he has taught penmanshipand occasionally preached, lie speaks,reads and writes German, talks inSwedish quite fluently, and has apretty good idea of French, Latinand Greek, is a splendid mathematician, and possesses a wonderful memory. With these accomplishmentsand his natural abilities it is difficultto reconcile his terrible career ofcrime and blood.It is said that his father, after consultation with Charley's attorney's,has determined to fight the prosecution to tho bitter end, and seems determined to mako an effort to savehis son from hanging. He is a manof considerable means, and willdoubtless carry out his determination. The ground of defense will beinsanity, aud his friends think thereis vet some hope for him.HowJUEIES-DailyMEMORIAL NOTICE-Olie, daughter of David and liar.hel Beck, diedof diptherla, Dec. 3d, 1S77, aged 13 years. 2monthsand 'lays.Do—The StateLeadersays of the jury that convicted AndySmith of the murder of Ella Barrett,at Das Moines:"The first vote of the jury afterthey retired to their room and hadelected a foreman and clerk, Sunday,stood II to 1 for conviction.

In some instances the disease will give some warning of its approach, but, generally*he beast will appear to-day perfectlywell, and to-morrow he will befound with his head extended, hisflanks heaving, his breath hot, hiseyes protruding, his muzzle dry, hispulse quick ana hard—every symptom, iu short, of the highest state offever He utters a low and distressing moaning he is already half unconscious he will stand for hours toifether motionless, or if he moves, or,s compelled to move, there is a peculiar staggering referrable to the hindlimbs, and generally one of themmore than the other by and by hegets uneasy, he shifts his weight fromfoot to foot, he paws faintly and thenliestdown. He rises, but almost immediately drops again. He now begins to be, or has already been, nearly unconscious of surrounding objects.There are many other symptomsfrom which the different names of thedisease arose. On the back or loips,or over one of the quarters there ismore or less swelling if felt when itfirst appears it is hot and tender andfirm, but it soon begins to yield tothe touch, and gives a singular crackling noise when pressed upon. Oneof the limbs likewise enlarges, sometimes through its whole extent, andthat enormously. It, too, is at firstfiirm, and hot and tender, but it soonafterwards becomes soft aud flabby,or pits when pressed upon, i. e., theindentations of the fingers remaiu.—When examined after death, that limbis full of red putrid fluid it is mortified, and seems to have been putrefying almost during the life of thebeast. Large ulcers break out in thislimb, and sometimes in other parts ofthe body, and almost immediately become gangrenous pieces of severalpounds in weight have sloughedaway three-fourths of the udderhave dropped off, or have been sogangrenous that it was necessary toremove them, and the animal hasbeen one mass of ulceration. Thebreath stinks horribly a very offensive, and sometimes purulent andbloody fluid runs from the mouththe urine i9 high-colored or bloodyaad the fteces are also streaked withblood, and the smell from them isscarcely supportable.In this state the beast will sometimes continue two or three days, atother times he will die in less thantwelve hours from the first attack.In a few instances, however, andwhen the disease has been early andproperly treated, all these dreadfulsymptoms gradually disappear, andthe animal recovers.It is to a redundancy, or overflowing of the blood, the consequence ofthe sudden change from bad to goodliving, that this disease most commonly owes itB origin. It is mostprevalent in the latter part of thespring and in the autumn and veryoften, at these seasons of the year,proves destructive to great numbersof young cattle in different parts ofthe States. It is sometimes, however,seen in the winter and the early partof spring, when the cattle are feedingon turnips. Some situations are moresubject to this complaint than othersIt is most frequent in low, marshygrounds, and pastures situated by theside of woods.It is a disorder of high conditionand over-feeding. The times of theyear and the character of the cattleprove this. It occurs in the latterpart of the spring, when the grass itmost luxuriant and nutritive, and inthe autumn, when we have the secondflush of grass and the animals attacked are those principally that areundergoing the process of fattening,and that have somewhat too suddenlybeen removed from scanty pasturageand low feeding to a profusion ofherbage, and that of a nutritious andstimulating kind. The disease sometimes occurs when the cattle havebeen removed fi om one pasturage toanother on the same farm but moreso when they have been brought frompoor land, at a distance, to a richersoil. There are in the latter case twopreparatory causes—the previouspoverty, and the fatigue and exhausHnn of the jniirimjr.This disease rarely admits of cure,but fortunately it may in general beprevented. If the malady is discovered as soon as it makes its appearancs, the beast should be immediatelyhoused, and then from four to eightquarts of blood taken away, according to the age and size. Two hoursafter bleeding give a purging drink,as follows:"Epsom Salts 1 pound powderedCaraway seeds, oz., dissolve in aquart of warm gruel and give,(whichwill be found ot a proper strength foryoung cattle from the age of one twoyears.)The bleeding should be repeated inthree or four hours, if the animal isnot materially relieved and a thirdbleeding must follow the second, ifthe fever is unabated. There mustbe no child's play here the diseasemust be knocked down at once, or itwill inevitably destroy tho beast. Thephysic likewise mnst be repeated until it has had jts full effect.As soon as the bowels are wellopened the Fever Drink No. 1, (Tartar Emetic one drachm, powderedDigitalisdrachm, Nitre 3 drachms,mixed in a quart of thick gruel,)should be administered, and repeatedmorning, noon and night, all food except a little mash being removed.At the first appearance of the disease the part principally affectedshould be fomented several times inthe course of the day with hot water,and for at least an hour each time.For this purpose there should be twoor three large pieces of flannel in thewater, that after one ot them has beenapplied thoroughly hot and drippingto the part affected, another equallyhot may be ready when this gets cold.As soon as the fever begins evidentlv to subside, and the beast ismore himself, and eats a little, thefever medicine must not be pushedtoo far. It should be rememberedthat this is a case of highly inflammatory disease, which soon passes over,and is often succeeded by debility almost as dangerous as the fever. Theox, therefore, must not be too muchlowered but the fever abating, mildest Tonic Drink, (Gentian 2 drachms,Emetic Tartar drachm, Nitreounce. Give in gruel.If this does not bring back the feverit may be safely continued once everyday until the ox is well or the quantities of the gentian may be Increased,and the emetic tartar lessened, and atlength altogether omitted, the nitrebeing still retained.A seton (of black hellebore root ifit can be procured) should be inserted into the dewlap and, if the beastcan be moved, it should be driven tomuch scantier pasture.Should not the disease be discovered until there is considerable swelling, and a cracking noise in sometumefied part, a cure is seldom effected. Bleeding at this stage of the complaint, can seldom be resorted to, or,at least, one moderate bleeding onlyshould be practiced, in order to subdue any Inrking fever that may remain. If a cure is in these cases attempted the Tonic Drink should begiven, which may invigorate the system by its cordial and tonic powers,and prevent the mortification extending.The swelled parts should be frequently bathed with equal portionsofvinegar and spirits of wine, made ashot as the hand will bear or, if ulceration seems to be approaching, slightincisions should be effected along thewhole extent of the swelling, ana thepart bathed with spiris of turpentine,made hot.If ulceration has commenced, accompanied by the peculiar fetor thatattends the disease, the wounds shouldbe first bathed with the DisinfectantLotion, (solution Chloride of Lime inpowder oz. water 1 pint, mix.)The hot spirits of turpentine shouldbe applied immediately after this, andcontinue in use until either the mortified parts have sloughed off, or thesore begins to have a healthy appearmL- A! .I.IA..ance. The tincture of aloes or Friar'sbalsam may then follow.Since so little can be done in theway of curc, we next anxiously in)uirc whether there is any mode ofprevention. The account which wehave given of the disease immediatelysuggests the prevention, viz., to beware of these sudden changes of pasture now and then to take a littleblood from, or to give a dosoof physicto, those beasts that are thriving unusually rapidly, and, whenever thebleed and to purge, and remove toshorter and scantier fead every animal that has been exposed to the sameexciting causes with those that havebeen attacked. The ftrater shouldbe particularly watchful during thelatter part of the spring and the* beginning of the autumn he may thatsave many a beast, and the bleedingand the physic will not arrest btttrnther assist their improvement. Hewho will not attend to a simple rnlelike this will deserve the loss that hemay experience.A LASCIVIOUSIDBAOOWAll New England is taking an interest in the case of the trial of Deacon Ezra P. Smith and Mrs. Mary £.Champlin, of Yergennes, Vermont,for the murder, by poisoning, ofSmith's wife. Smith was an old, pious, wealthy and respectable citizen,with grown up and married children.Mrs. Champlin was a buxom neighbor, thirty-one years old, whose husband worked most of the time inNew York. Mr. Champlin left hiswife some five years ago, on aooountof an intimacy which was foaad tohave existed between her and a NorthAdams lawyer, but the trouble waspatched up, and the family moved toYergennes. Although the Champlinshave lived for nearly two years nearthe Smiths, the deacon seems not tohave become acquainted with Mrs.Champlin until January laat. Theacquaintance was brought abont at achurch social held at the deacon's.While old and young were playingan old-fashioned game, the deacon, asa forfeit, was sentenced to kiss Mrs.C. He lays all his troubles to thatkiss. Since his arrest he haa statedthat, up to this time, he had been truein thought well as in deed, to hiswife,*asuv K "Jt'.He fell in hot love with Mrs.C. and visited her altogether toomuch. Last summer Mrs. Smith,who was in good health, was suddenly taken sick and died in great agony.At her first attack Mrs. Champlinwas sent for, and she nursed Mrs.Smith until her death. During theweek that Mrs. Champlin lived at thehouse of the Smiths many little thingswere noticed by the neighbors whichcaused gossip, and finally culminatedin scandal. This caused Mr. Champlin to determine on removing withhis family to Essex, but Mrs. Champlin refused to go, and be left With hischildren. This seemed to fan theflame, and things became so warmthat Mrs. Champlin left town. In afew days Smith left also, and, in hisabsencc, which lasted about twoweeks, the circumstances of the deathof his wife were canvassed, and suspicion that all was not right gainedground.The father of Mrs. Smith securedthe services of Detective Burroughs,and a number of letters bevweeu DeaSmith and Mrs. Champlin and otherevidences were secured which left nodoubt that a criminal intimacy hadexisted between the parties formonths. Evidence was also securedwhich made it extremely probablethat Mrs. Smith had been poisoned.Smith in the meantime had returnedthe body of his wife had been takenup, and Prof. Collier, of Bennington,who had examined it, with a view toa more critical examination, if theappearance of the stomach warranted it, had reported that "the stomachhad been subject to the action of anirritant poison," and advised a thorough chemical analysis. Smith got anotion ho could stop Prof. C. fromgoing on with the investigation andsent him the following note:BURLINGTON,Yt., Oct.Yours truly,16, '77.Mr. Colyer: Sir—If you will stopthe analysis of my wife's body I willpay you 9350, as we talked.E.P.SMITH.At the same time he sent this noteto Mrs. Champlin:"MaryKeep up your courage.I think I can buy off Mr. Colyer.—Shall try hard.EZRAP."The chemical analysis of Prof.S.Mrs. Stewart will testify that aboutmidnight the night before Mrs.Smith died, while she was watchingthe sick woman, fearing that she wasdying, sho went up to Mrs. Champlin'sroom and undertook to awaken her,but the door being locked ah« couldnot do it then going to Ezra's room,she with much trouble gained a response, although she was satisfiedfrom the noise in the room that hewas awake. Iler impression was thathe was not alone in the room. Ezrarefused to come down, saying that"he did not want to Bee Cordeliaagain." We condense from theSpringfield Republican. The case isnow being tried at Middlebury, Vermont. And each of the accused seemto be in mortal terror lest fin othershould turn State's evidence.Broom Corn for sale. Threethousand pounds, by O.
